RPC Docs: gettxout*: clarify bestblock and unspent counts #13184

   Expounds on two things I've seen confuse inexperienced users:

   • transactions/outputs in gettxoutsetinfo: a user thought this was the total number of transactions or outputs ever seen on the chain, whereas it's only the number in the UTXO.

   • bestblock in gettxout: a user thought this was the block that included the output, not realizing it was the tip of the current best block chain. I also copied this text to gettxoutsetinfo for congruency. I skimmed other uses of "bestblock" in the RPC docs and they seemed clear to me.

   Travis failure seems unrelated.
